The Indoor Alocasia Handbook: Care, Corms, Propagation and Growing Guides (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798177286327)

Understand your Alocasia and enjoy every new leaf.

From sculpted copper foliage to dark velvet leaves and striking silver veins, Alocasias bring extraordinary character to a home. The Indoor Alocasia Handbook helps you understand what these plants need and build a care routine that fits your space.

Whether you are bringing home your first Polly, raising a corm or caring for a growing collection, this practical guide explains how to read the plant, assess its roots and make informed adjustments as conditions change.

Inside, discover:

- Everyday care explained clearly: light, temperature, humidity, airflow, watering and feeding.
- Pots, roots and growing media: choosing a suitable mix, recognising root problems, repotting and understanding semi-hydroponics.
- Propagation from the beginning: separating offsets, sprouting corms and helping young plants adjust to their new environment.
- Seasonal and variegated-plant care: winter slowdown, leaf loss, summer moves and realistic expectations for pale foliage.
- Troubleshooting you can use: yellow leaves, drooping, brown tips, spider mites, thrips and other common problems, with ten worked diagnostic examples.
- 24 plant profiles: including Polly, Black Velvet, Dragon Scale, Silver Dragon, cuprea, sinuata, zebrina and larger elephant's ears.
- Practical reference pages: a glossary, further reading and four growing-record pages to help you track useful observations.

Written for home growers, with seasonal examples based on UK conditions and guidance you can adapt to your own environment, this handbook encourages a thoughtful, manageable approach to keeping Alocasias healthy.

This 140-page paperback has a black-and-white interior with explanatory line diagrams, tables and growing records. It is a practical care handbook rather than a colour photographic identification guide.

Grow with greater confidence, understand the changes you see and enjoy the satisfaction of the next leaf opening.
